Again

 Love, you caught me off guard.
And I embraced you,
Like a child playing at a beach.
Your waves took me deep into the ocean,
But I swam back to the shore.

But love, you caught me again.
And I caved into you,
Like a mermaid who loved the depths.
 You took me to the abyss,
And one day you washed me to the shore.

I lied there gasping,
For eons and alone.
Scared of the waves,
And out of breath.
